Just wondering what everyone is giving this year or getting if you know.

I bought for the people I'm spending X-mas with:
My Aunt: She just picked up Golf so I got her some golf stuff that she wanted

My mother: she wanted a book on the BMW Z4 so I got her that

My Mothers Boyfriend (Ex Navy Pilot) - is a Golf Finatic so He also got golf stuff.

My Sister in Law: I had no clue what to get her, but I know she's into taking pictures so I got her one of those picture frames that you can down load pictures to, and it scrolls through them or something like that.

My Brother: I bought him the "Chatter Box" set up for his car so he can talk to his passengers, pit crew, or Students now that he made Instructor.

So far I got a new Golf Bag, and a Pull over BMW Jacket (like a wind breaker) from my mother, but have no idea what else I'm getting from the rest of the family.

And on a side note Just joined the local R/C Airplane club here in Camden - they have 50 members, but most are Older which is fine, because most of them can't see well so they compensate buy building bigger airplanes which is bad ass. One guy has a plane with a 12' wingspan. And 3D aerobatics/pattern seem to be the plans of choice. But they do have 4 members who fly Helicopters. Which I'm leaning towards getting back into, since it's a hell of a lot more fun to watch then planes, those that have seen me fly my Helicopter before it met its end, first hand can attest to what it's like. I really don't mind flying my WWII P-47D, but it would be a lot more fun if I knew someone that would be willing to do mock dog fights.

Sweet GPS! I've heard of a lot of people giving/getting those this year. I'd like a nice color handheld one and a radar detector :)

I got Janelle an iPod, some iPod accessories, a big owl Christmas tree ornament, some glass ball ornament, and some other pretty cool stuff that I can't mention since she is on the site now and hasn't received them yet!

I got my sister a pot and pans cookware set and I got my parents a $150 gift card to Melting Pot and a Formula One calendar for my Dad.

I got a Furby from a girl at work and an ornament from Janelle so far. I think I'll also be getting some stuff for the Evo and probably a professional massage gift certificate, but I have no idea what else.

I did "Christmas" with the girlfriend last night and in addition to the stuff above I gave her a MOMO shift knob and some perfume. She gave me some cologne, a clock radio with an iPod dock (I wanted this to have at work), a leather business card holder with my initials imprinted on it, and a leather desk tray with my initials. I also got a Lake Superior Circle Tour t-shirt and magnet.

I gave anna a bunch of $1 items from target and stuck $20 bills in all of them. Highlights include 'beep beep school bus' (a children's book) and two RWD truck toys....an H3 and some other ($1) truck :) Gave her grandma a nice digital photo frame and my dad a case of shotgun shells :D Ooh also I loaded up my bro for his new xbox360, got him a bunch of halo3 shiz, including the game.

All I asked for for xmas was money for my car (for the first time ever), and it worked quite well. I have enough for either of the following, but not both:

Ported Intake Manifold, Ported 65mm throttle body, and probably squeeze enough for a IX turbo + install kit (different outlet pipe)

or

A set of Megan Coilovers

Decisions decisions.....I also got a nice Ferrari/Puma sweatshirt from Anna's parents, and a nice big 10" digital photo frame from my uncle. Very nice!!!

I gave the wife a couple Coach purses, an ipod shuffle, couple books, gift certificates.

Wife gave me a chair back massager, some books, and Rock Band for the 360.

My sister in law gave a me the History of the North Stars by Lou Nanne and had it autographed by him too, cool gift.

Father in law heard I wanted some fishing tackle and he went all out, easily a couple hundred dollars worth, he really wants me to start fishing with him I guess. ;)
